This is my newly handmade pochade box. See the post below for how and why I made it. It is set up and attached to a new light weight tripod I just bought that only weighs 2 lbs. My box also weighs 2 lbs, so that is pretty manageable in my backpack when I am out hiking around looking for a good location to paint. The outside of the box measures about 10 1/4 X 13 1/2". So it easily fits in my pack. My tripod collapses and folds down to 17 1/2" So it fits as well. The box mounts to the tripod with a T-Nut that I installed in the bottom of the box. You hammer it in to a pre-drilled hole. I had to glue a small piece of wood inside the box, as it was not thick enough to accept the T-Nut. It works fine! See photo below of T-Nut.
